Chapter 1850: Chapter 1852: This Shop Really Is Bold
"Moreover, I saw there were some pink skins, green skins, and purple skins. They seem to be dyed, and they look quite nice. Madam, would you like to buy a few?"
Yang Chuxia thought that it’s already autumn, and she’ll spend this winter in the Capital City, so fur is essential.
She took out a purse and said, "Go and check. Buy a few large skins in dark colors, and a few in lighter colors."
"Yes, I’ll go right away!"
Ming Lan was quick in action, fighting through the crowd for quite a while, before finally emerging.
Yang Chuxia noticed not only deer skin but also fox skin, and she smiled, "You managed to grab these?"
She thought that at a time like this, with so many people inside, you would just grab whatever you could. But Ming Lan’s haul clearly included mostly deer and fox skins, indicating he was strategic.
Ming Lan wiped the sweat off his forehead, took several deep breaths, and said, "Oh my, so many people inside, the shop is small, and it’s too crowded. It seemed the people inside couldn’t manage, but there were a few big men standing around like gatekeepers, quite intimidating."
"In a place with so many people, there definitely need to be a few watchers, otherwise wouldn’t fights break out?"
Just after Yang Chuxia spoke, two people inside started shouting, "That fox skin was mine first."
"You’re talking nonsense, I clearly got it first."
"It’s mine."
"It’s mine, I’ve already paid for it."
"It’s just thirty taels, I’ll give you double."
The two appeared to be nannies from some household, fighting over the goods, neither willing to back down.
In a moment, three big men emerged from inside, each grabbing a nanny, the one in the middle taking back the fur, tossing the originally collected silver at one nanny, "No more selling the skins to you, get lost, causing trouble at our door, asking for a beating?"
Saying this, he raised a fist, Yang Chuxia watched, clicking her tongue in amazement, this shop is really bold, those two nannies were clearly from wealthy households, able to buy skins, likely close to their masters—do they dare to hit them? Aren’t they afraid of causing trouble?
"Our boss said, if you want to buy skins, go in and choose nicely. Any further commotion, we won’t sell, all will be kicked out."
"Hey, how can you be like this? I already gave you the silver!" One nanny protested.
The other nanny stepped forward and said, "Exactly, we aren’t refusing to pay, why not sell to us?"
"Because you’re causing trouble at our shop’s door, delaying our business." The big man shouted again, "Are you going or not? If not, we’ll start hitting?"
"Indeed, we have no habit of not hitting women here." Another big man stepped forward and added, raising his hand.
The two nannies glanced at each other and then walked away separately.
Yang Chuxia watched a little longer, then put down the carriage curtain, thinking Yangyang liked the roast suckling pig from Gathered Floor. On passing Gathered Floor, she went up to pack some to take back.
On the way back, passing through an alley, she encountered Heir Tong. But unexpectedly, she discovered the former State Duchess had left the yamen office but had been given a residence by Heir Tong instead of returning to the Tong Family.
Yang Chuxia nodded slightly; a son is different. Even though the State Duke doesn’t care about her, the son hasn’t given up.
However, Yang Chuxia noticed the duchess no longer bore the same resentment when she saw her; instead, there was some complexity. Perhaps staying in prison finally brought clarity to her confusion.
